Design Wall Monday

Last week's design wall(floor) stayed that way until yesterday. I wanted to have a post for today, so I got busy after spending the afternoon at the movie, seeing "The Help" with Janet and Randy. It was a great movie!

I took apart the 12" rows and added 6-8" pieces to make up the needed space. I used that butterfly backing fabric for the corners.

I may just load this one and quilt it today.

It was 11pm when I finished and Dan was in bed, but I was wide awake, so I pulled out the blocks for Jeff and Dané's new king size quilt and started sewing them together.

This is how far I got before the stroke of midnight and my signal that it was time for bed. The black horizontal strips are not sewn to the rows yet, just wanted a peek at how it was going to look.

I enjoyed seeing The Help also!I really like that inner dark/narrow border on this quilt...it really helps "organize" all the blocks. I hope I remember this idea when putting together a lot of different blocks.

I'm retired from my Graphic Design job at The National Group and a full-time long-arm quilter. I'm married and have 2 sons and a daughter, 1 stepson, 3 grandsons, 4 granddaughters, 4 step-granddaughters and a step-grandson.
